well i would have picked PA lucky for life. I dont have any experience with any of the other games beyond Cashonly's constant complaining about NY games, so I assume they are pretty bad too

I've heard different rumors on TN having a midday draw and a pick 4 game so I called the headquarters in Nashville to find out. Tn will be having a 4 digit cash game coming out near the end of this month. I don't know any other details about the game.

The worst game has to be Missouri's ShowMe 5 They use 44 balls and the most you can get out of it is 50K (taxes paid).

I stand corrected on the Tic Tac Cash, Kentucky doubler is the worst game Ky has to offer.

KY just started Double-Up.

DoctorEw220 — Sat, 19 Mar 2005 10:02:34 GMT

judging by the information you gave me (thanx.), i would guess that KY would retire KY Cash Ball, should they opt to retire any game.

KyMystikal — Sat, 19 Mar 2005 09:42:34 GMT

I think the worst game is Kentucky's Tic Tac Cash . I think it's too hard just to win $25,000. I hope they end it with this new game they got starting in April, Double Up . but it doesn't look much better. It starts at $40,000, but atleast it rolls over if no one wins the jackpot.

I thought the worst game was the stupid 6 . Players certainly complained about it enough for them to cancel the game.

I personally like the Quinto game. It's cash at once and the last roll was really nice. Over 4 million in cash with only 2.6 million to one odds. I even have a stratagy on how to deal with the cards but it didn't work this time. I personally think any lucky for life game is a lame waste of money.

The worst games are any game with a power or mega ball drawn from a separate hopper. Their Pick-5 portion provides a poorer arena for wheeling as each line provides half the lower tier prize coverage of Pick-6 lines and the power/mega ball makes the jackpot more luck then skill.Games like Quinto and Lucky for Life are hardly worth calling a lottery game.BobPPure Pick-6 is the best way to go to have any real chance to make your own luck. This may be simple for the people here, but makes sense.h... [ More ]

i wouldn't say that. granted it's hard to win, and it really should offer more than $1 for matching 2 numbers, but the jackpot can get pretty high, and when any jackpot gets high, any game becomes a good game.

Quinto is arguably the worst pick-5 game.

yeah. lotto texas isn't bad, and the jackpot grows pretty big sometimes.

although mass. megabucks is annuity-only, i do like the $1 price. a cash option would bring in more sales, and possibly an increase in the starting jackpot. $400,000 (annuitized) is not enough, and the fact that the $400,000 is paid over 20 years ($20,000/year before taxes) doesn't exactly set someone for life. also, the annuity period should be longer than 20 years. 25-30 year annuities make for bigger, better jackpots.

I left out Lucky For Life in PA because I'm certain it would get an overwhelming majority of votes.
